During a recent discussion, leading actor and film producer Taapsee Pannu highlighted the harsh realities of the Indian film industry to the youngsters and suggested they should always have a plan second to Bollywood.

“The idealistic thing is that with hard work you will achieve everything that isn’t the case. Not everything is fair in the film industry,” she said. “If you expect that things will be fair and square then that won’t happen.”

The ‘Dunki’ actor suggested, “It will be unfair. Our stature depends on the audience. If the audience prefers watching hero-centric films in theatres and not ours, then how will we succeed? It’s not that the industry kicks us out of the industry, they rather give us opportunities. You will get to hear a lot of things, so keep your ego aside, otherwise, you will be disappointed. So, get used to hearing bad things.”

Pannu clarified that she is not a ‘victim of the Bollywood industry’, before sharing, “I had option B. I had done engineering, had a job and I could do that. I wanted to do an MBA, so I had kept all the options ready.”

Next, she has the investigative comedy ‘Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan?’ and action-thriller ‘Gandhari’ in the pipeline.
